Pork knuckle boiled in onion husk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook a knuckle in onion husks? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. A couple of handfuls of onion husks will be enough. These are about 10-12 peeled large bulbs. My garlic cloves are very large. If you take small ones, then take them more in quantity.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the onion husk well in cold water to remove dust and dirt particles from it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then transfer the husks to the pan in which you will cook the knuckle. Take a large and deep pot. Fill the husk with clean water and add salt. Put on the fire and bring to a boil. Take a dark saucepan, since the husk is very much painted and then it will be difficult to wash a light saucepan.

   Then add bay leaf and peppercorns to the pan.

6. Step 5:

   

   Place the pork knuckle in hot water and return the pan to the heat. It is desirable that the steering wheel is completely submerged in water. But if she performs a little, too, there's nothing to worry about. Just in the process of cooking it will need to be turned over 1-2 times. Bring everything to a boil. Then cover the pan with a lid, make a small fire and cook the knuckle for 1.5 hours. You can cook the knuckle both in a saucepan and in a slow cooker.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cool the finished knuckle in water (at least just to a warm state). This is necessary in order for the meat to turn the darkest color. Then remove and soak excess moisture from the surface of the meat with paper towels. The peeled garlic is passed through a garlic press and smeared on all sides with crushed garlic. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Meat with garlic becomes very fragrant.

   During this time, the knuckle will harden and it can be easily cut into sandwiches. Have a nice treat.
